01 The Group

Tara is for people, for life, and for the communities they build.

One conviction guides everything we own: when the human experience is raised, life itself is raised.

Tara grew out of more than thirty years of work in heritage, urban planning, design and technology, and its companies came together under one group in 2019. We invest where culture, technology and everyday life meet, in companies built to lead their markets and to last.

03 A word from the Chairman

What is built with patience is the only thing that lasts.

I have spent much of my life walking the old roads of Arabia and reading what they left behind. The lesson of those roads is simple: what endures was built slowly, by people who cared for those who would come after them. Tara was founded on that lesson.
